When?
Idiocracy - the most intelligent opted not to breed and have been overtaken by the lower masses.
Nah. We are living longer, and with gene technology advancing, we’re going to be living a lot longer than we are now.
As for genes causing problems, there will almost certainly be gene therapy to take care of most of that.
Looks interesting, thanks. I’ll check out the lecture.
This has been the plan of the cats from the beginning.
One big solution for this is becoming a multi-planetary species. If we have a few million years, that’ll be easy. However, there may be speciation of humans on different planets. Especially distant ones.
Natural selection isn’t the end-all and be-all of evolution. Genetic drift counts for a lot.
I disagree with that assessment. Complex species don’t evolve by way of a simple selection process. They socially select. Those whose sum total of favorable genes is greatest get to dominate socially and reproduce. The others, not so much.
Idiocracy.
Humans became humans by almost becoming extinct, probably hundreds of times during our 2.5 million year journey from old world primates. Compare us to our ancestors and you will find vast differences. Then compare today’s old world primates to the old world primates of 2.5 million years ago. It’s hard to tell them apart.
There is a killing force among us which causes the chaos, the biasing frequency, needed for change. It is the combination of carbohydrates and deadly viruses. There is also a saving force which we inherited from old world primates. It is the ability to exogenate deadly viruses into our DNA and code around them.
Hominids became humans because they could eat carbs. They also died because they ate carbs. The catch is, the survivors ate fats instead of carbs. Fats provide the cellular energy needed for epigenetic recoding.
I’m an only (bother died of MD) and have 3 kids
My dad is the only of his four siblings to have kids
Moms brother had 3
I think it all works out except for stupid liberals who don’t believe in marriage and family
“We are dying”

When? Not soon enough. To many people in the world. That’s Why we have societal parasites like Democrats, liberals, progressives, socialists and communists.
Really, we’re going extinct, eh? Has this guy seen what’s marching towards out southern border?
Democrat’s first.
Sheeeesh, read the Bible :-P - that's why heaven is already in and around us. The 'World' ... of time, of things, of life and death ... is the illusion. It's just hard for us to see there is no real time, no real world. Darwin doesn't want us to. That's the point of the resurrection.
The Buddha called this 'having dust on your eyes.' This is not to say my eyes aren't quite dusty - they are virtually 3 feet deep in it.
That was a total tangent. What can I say? It's snowing and I'm working from home, or getting back to it.
Actually we are simply f**king ourselves to death. After HIV/Aids, a new STD is discovered every week.
The world belongs to viruses.
Given his premise, not just humans but ALL species will gradually deteriorate and become extinct.
But given the hundreds of million of years that complex life has been around why are there any animals still around.
Not only that, but why do today’s species seem more advanced than previous once?
So, if I am reading this right, he is arguing for ‘speeding up’ the natural selection process with manual intervention?
Or the killing-off of undesirable traits?
